Issues linting on Windows

[theamazingfedex]

I've dug around for a few days, and haven't found any solutions that worked for me, so I'm making an issue outlining my problem.

System information

Windows 7 Cmder/ConE`mu terminal emulator

Relevant .vimrc

  let g:syntastic_debug = 3
  let g:syntastic_debug_file = "C:/Users/daniwood/.vim/syntastic.log"
  let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
  let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
  let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
  let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 1
  let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers = ['eslint']

:SyntasticInfo shows no checkers enabled. :SyntasticCheck doesn't do the thing :SyntasticCheck eslint tells me that checker eslint is not available

the version of Vim you are using (run :ver to find out);

VIM 8.0 (gVIM)

the version of syntastic you are using (see :SyntasticInfo).

Syntastic 3.7.0-234

For syntax checker bugs also state the version of the checker executable that you are using. Adding debugging information is typically useful too:

ESLint 1.10.3

open a file handled by your checker; set g:syntastic_debug to 1 or 3; run the checker; (:SyntasticCheck)

copy the output of :mes;

syntastic: 40.925838: &shell = 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd' (!)

Does anything change if you leave shell unset in your vimrc? Did you read the first item in the FAQ?

[theamazingfedex]

Yes, I did read and go through and try the things in the FAQ. Nope, commenting out set shell=cmd doesn't change a thing

[lcd047]

To get a useful trace of eslint detection please quit Vim, comment out g:syntastic_check_on_open and the debug lines in your vimrc, open a JavaScript file, set g:syntastic_debug to 33, run :SyntasticInfo (don't do anything else), and post the output.

[theamazingfedex]

1. Comment out g:syntastic_check_on_open
2. Comment out g:syntastic_debug
3. Comment out g:syntastic_debug_file
4. Exit Vim
5. Open vim src/../BasicAlert.js
6. Enter vim :command let g:syntastic_debug=33
7. Enter vim :command SyntasticInfo
8. Paste results:

You're running dein with Vim. As far as I know dein only works with Neovim. You need to fix that.

E484: Can't open file C:\Users\daniwood\.tmp\VIo2030.tmp

Your Vim can't run external programs with system(). You need to fix that too.

[theamazingfedex]

1. On the Dein.vim repository, Shougo mentions in the README about how it does indeed support the Vim8 asynchronous API.
2. :call syntastic#util#system('which eslint') shows me the path to my current eslint executable, leading me to believe that system() calls are working.

[lcd047]

Please post the output of:

:echo syntastic#util#system('eslint --version')

[theamazingfedex]

Command:

:echo syntastic#util#system('eslint --version')

Output:

v1.10.3

[lcd047]

Then please post the output of:

:echo executable('eslint')

[theamazingfedex]

Command:

:echo executable('eslint')

Output:

1

[lcd047]

Well, then either your package manager is broken, or there is some other plugin that disables syntastic. shrug

Please quit Vim, disable all plugins aside from syntastic, open a JavaScript file, run :SyntasticInfo, run :scriptnames, and post the output.

I would think that I would be able to :Errors at this point and see the error in the loclist, but no, nothing happens when calling :Errors

[theamazingfedex]

It seems that vim -u .vimrcsyn ./file.js then :SyntasticCheck works normally in terminal vim, but does not at all in gVim.

Here's my current .vimrcsyn

wtf... after running it a handful of times without making any changes, gVim is now showing the appropriate :Errors loclist.. Idk what changed, buuut, that .vimrcsyn in my previous comment now works in both gVim and terminalVim. I'll re-add plugins one by one to see if I can pinpoint what the crap is going on, and post my results here.

@lcd047 thanks for your patience going through this shizz with me :grin:
